Short-Baseline Active-Sterile Neutrino Oscillations?
We suggest the possibility that the anomalies observed in the LSND experiment and the Gallium radioactive source experiments may be due to neutrino oscillations generated by a large squared-mass difference of about 20 − 30 eV. We consider the simplest 3+1 four-neutrino scheme that can accommodate also the observed solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations. We show that, in this framework, the...
متن کاملAtmospheric neutrino data : Active-Active × Active-Sterile oscillations
Atmospheric showers are initiated when primary cosmic rays hit the Earth’s atmosphere. Secondary mesons produced in this collision, mostly pions and kaons, decay and give rise to electron and muon neutrino and anti-neutrinos fluxes [1]. In the past Fréjus and NUSEX [2] reported a R-value (R = (μ/e)data/(μ/e)MC) consistent with one, therefore other detectors like Kamiokande, IMB and Soudan-2 [3]...
متن کاملSterile neutrino production via active-sterile oscillations: the quantum Zeno effect
We study several aspects of the kinetic approach to sterile neutrino production via active-sterile mixing. We obtain the neutrino propagator in the medium including self-energy corrections up to O(GF ), from which we extract the dispersion relations and damping rates of the propagating modes. The dispersion relations are the usual ones in terms of the index of refraction in the medium, and the ...
متن کاملActive - Sterile neutrino oscillations and BBN + CMBR constraints
We show how active-sterile neutrino oscillations in the early Universe can play an interesting role in explaining the current observations of CMBR anisotropies and light element abundances. We describe different possible phenomenological scenarios in the interpretation of present data and how active-sterile neutrino oscillations can provide a viable theoretical framework.
متن کاملSterile-active neutrino oscillations and shortcuts in the extra dimension
We discuss a possible new resonance in active-sterile neutrino oscillations arising in theories with large extra dimensions. Fluctuations in the brane effectively increase the path-length of active neutrinos relative to the path-length of sterile neutrinos through the extra-dimensional bulk. Well below the resonance, the standard oscillation formulas apply. Well above the resonance, active-ster...
